In this week 22 match on Feb 20th, Young Boys will travel to Zürich to battle Grasshopper in a meeting of these two Super League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Grasshopper is fresh off their 2-0 shutout win against Lausanne Sport. Momoh struck first for Grasshopper in the 28th minute on a feed from Schmid, then Momoh added another in the 67th minute on a feed from Lei Li In the end, Lausanne Sport was frustrated by Grasshopper’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Grasshopper ended the match with the shutout victory. Grasshopper is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while young Boys sits at 2nd place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-1 win against Basel. Michael Lang struck first for Basel in the 22nd minute on a feed from Julián Palacios, then Vincent Sierro tied it up for Young Boys in the 39th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 69th minute on a goal by Nicolas Ngamaleu. Young Boys should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Grasshopper and Young Boys battled to a 1-1 draw. Allan Arigoni struck first for Grasshopper in the 26th minute on a feed from Petar Pusic, then in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time, Michel Aebischer sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Jordan Siebatcheu squeezing out at least the one point for Young Boys.
